Any climbers? Sydney area...
Are there any climbers out there, specifically in the Sydney area?
What are the (if any) local climbs like, or is it all pretty dire? Is any of it pre-bolted or not? Also, are there any local walls, or is it mostly outdoors. It's occurred to me that I've been to Sydney 3 times, and never once considered the climbing there, though I imagine the blue mountains are pretty good.
I'm just organising my stuff ready for packing and wondering what to do with my climbing harness and associated gubbins. I think that I will pack my shoes and harness, but not too sure about all my hex nuts and friends and stuff. Obviously there's quite a weight premium attached to all that stuff.
Hmmm.

UNSW has an indoor. I believe it is open to public at certain times. Would imagine there are heaps of such places

The walls are very good too (not that you really need them) with Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym being the largest (similar in size and quality to the Westway in London) and best for roped stuff. St Leonards is best for bouldering/training (and has the best 'scene')and there are other good walls at Northen Beaches and Penrith. The Ledge at Sydney Uni isn't bad and is very cheap.
Bring as much of your stuff as you can-Climbing kit is very expensive here. (Example - Shoes: Five 10 - $270-$300), Cams ($100) etc
PM me if you need more.
